    Bridgewater is in Somerset, off the M5. It's kind of like Alabama, but without the guns. You'd love it.

      Not on the M6 but could be in your price range: https://www.daltonsbusiness.com/post...evon-uk/404562
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          In the 50s and 60s, Alabama had the highest percentage of PhDs per capita in the US. There are still some areas where there are high percentages - for example, 8% of the population of Auburn have PhDs, 16% have a Masters and 32% have a Bachelors degree.

          That's higher than Berkely, Mountain View, Boulder, Cupertino etc etc.

          No idea how that compares to Bridgewater, but Alabama has some incredibly bright people there, some beautiful countryside, and some of the friendliest people I've met.

              I had a new oil fired central heating system put in last year and changed from gas oil (essentially same as red diesel) to Kerosene. Still got about 5 gallons of it - maybe I could put it in my van. What are chances of getting caught?

                  I worked with a guy from Alabama who was an Oxford student on a placement or something. Bright guy, but as he put it once "I had to come over here to get a decent education. "
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    I think you have to add oil to it to get it close to diesel

                    Many many moons ago I was summoned from my place of work as HMRC were requesting the presence of the owner of a LWB Land Rover parked outside, they then instructed me to open the fuel cap whence they proceeded to dip the contents of the tank to check for rebated diesel - which got me thinking about adding a second hidden tank and keeping a nominal amount of pukka diesel in the standard tank

                    ... but speaking to an Irish chap he reckons the Guardia have some kind of testing paper that can detect the emissions from the dye in rebated diesel and they regularly walk up and down traffic queues in Paddy land sticking some kind of litmus paper over the exhaust so maybe that approach is no longer valid
                    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think
